Our room upon arrival was dirty. The carpet had not been vacuumed, the side tables were sticky with a ring of something, our coffee maker didn’t work and they never replied to our request to fix it. Stains on the carpet, it just looked and felt dirty . There was a huge event in the area and no parking. We had to park in a residential area and walk to the resort. Would not recommend or stay here again
